Full Disk Encryption vs Encrypt whats in use

I have a question about Full Disk Encryption vs Encrypt whats in use.  I recently tested the "Encrypt whats in use" which took about 4 hours to encrypt on my test PC.  But i was left wondering if the disk continues to encrypt as it grows or not?  I figure Full Disk encryption will do exactly that.  Encypt the used and unused space no matter what.  But the other setting has me worried that it is lacking in coverage.  Otherwise why have to two different options?

  • Also my laptop encrypted using the FIE method.   I just changed in the policy that FIE is set to "No".  I expected to see it update its policy (it did), and then expected to see that encryption box pop up letting me know it was encrypting the rest of the Hard Drive (it did not).  Will I have to uninstall and re-encrypt or is there a way to verify its doing the rest of the drive now?
